Romantic Moments
 

I'm not typically a very romantic person; or rather, I'm not a fan of the typical, seemingly requisite sappy gestures of those in relationships (pet names, sending apologetic flowers, etc). To me, something like a Donati print is a far more romantic Valentine's Day gift than chocolates.

But today I'm in a rare sentimental mood, and was contemplating some of the more romantic gestures I've heard of. A woman I once worked with told me that her husband absolutely delighted in painting her toenails. For some reason, I found this extremely touching.

What are some romantic gestures you've received/performed/heard of?

I've had someone sing to me, but it was in no way romantic. It was embarassing and sad. Horrible!

Nothing legitimate from this end.

Fuck it!Accuse me of arselicking or whatever you want but:

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to truncated again.........and again............and again..........and again.........

I have been lucky enough to have had two separate relationships with the most unconventionally romantic guys i've ever met.No chocolates or the like.Just a fistful of intellectually challenging insults that turned into the longest and most sincere friendships one could hope for.I like it that way.

And loyalty is a temple!It really is.

Truer words never spoken.

One of the most romantic things has to be watching tv on silent and listening to Glen Campbell's 'Witchita Lineman'.It really can't get any better than that.Small argument after that.Alawys good for 'THE ART'.

Yeah that is true romanticism Kegmama, I think is you give her a breakfast at bed would be romantic, I don't know I think.

sometimes ill wake up 30 minutes early to make breakfest and take it to my significant other while she was in bed.
on a couple of occasions ive made reservations for dinner, told her that my parents want us to meet somewhere for dinner or a benefit and to dress nice, and then surprise her by it just being the two of us.
ive actually painted her nails in the past too, didnt enjoy it too much.
hung out at her house for a week when she was sick and just watched movies.

:D Sure can't.

To me, painting someone's toenails has more to do with a foot fetish than a romantic gesture. I like it nevertheless.

I think dear Truncy wasn't referring to sex there but then you fuckers have only got Da Sex in mind.

Probably because issues with it are prominent.

What? Romantic moments can lie outside of sex!?
Very doubtful.

Obviously..................

That is what I was going to say.

I won't believe a word of it.

Hmmm...you obviously are too obsessed with it becau........ah fuck it!

He liked doing it because it was a small gesture, but one he knew she appreciated. It was a few moments out of a day where he paid special attention to a tiny, seemingly insignificant detail, and that's what distinguished it from more obvious, and more often less sincere, signs of affection.

It was just cute, goddammit.

As a sidenote, however, I don't see what people have against feet. I think feet that are well-kept are quite cute, and even sexy at times.

Well, my feet are, anyway. I don't know about the rest of you dirty bastards.




And dudewithsuperlongscreenname, you're a bit on the odd side, but I must give you credit for those romantic bits, they are quite sweet.

Haha.But then again if feet are all you think about i'm disgusted.Big time.

Feet can be very sensual indeed, but wooly 80's carpets are very passe.

Ladies, seriously, take note of this statement. You want flowers, cards and all that bollocks? Do this, you'll get the perfect boyf.

Or, to return to the subject matter of the thread... I have been known to be romantic, but I'm not telling you fucks about it.

Trunky-wunky - your feet may have turned me from a foot-hater to a lover of the feet.

Don't any of you ugly-footed fucks post your feet and ruin it.

Driving all the way from Minneapolis to pick me up and drive 90 miles back to Minneapolis to see Cat Power.

Anonymous complimentary notes are very romantic, Nefeli. Creepy maybe, but flattering nonetheless. The point is, it's nice that someone thought enough of you to even do such a thing.

Taking a walk together without knowing where you're going i find rather romantic.Sitting down in a pub having a drink and slagging off the fashionistas is also pretty romantic.

I call my girlfriend pet names and vice versa and don't think, it's stupid at all.

porkie please.. i'm only after me breakfast

That's deleting all the the arguments inbetween though!

^Give his number to me?

I just recently took part in 'hooking up' one of my good friends and this other girl. All I really did was tell her to go for it, but anyway..

She sent me part of their conversation online, and she said something about someone being cuter, but forgot the T so it was "cuer." Then later she was like "I am to the word 'cuter' as you are to the word 'T,' because without you I would just be 'cuer' and that doesn't even make sense." And well I just found that adorable.


I can't think of any romantic shit that people have done for me, meh.

i got my ex-girlfriend stuff like a doll from her favorite anime, or cat shaped earrings, don't know if it's romantic or anything, i just thought rather that than chocolates or anything cliché. of course, the bitch just probably tossed them to the closet or something.

the girl i'm interested in right now was having a bad day (she was sure she was going to get fired and some crap with her boyfriend and friends), i didn't know that then, and when she called me if i was going to come over her house i told her no, i was pissed at her for some reason. the next day after school, instead of going home i went to her house unanounced, she wasn't there, stood for some 10 minutes and was about to go home when i saw her all gloomy and shit crossing the street, i then saw she was feeling sad and went for coffee so she could talk things over. don't know if it's romantic though, it's probably stupid.

hmmmm, lying down holding the person you love and her hugging back is one of my favorite feelings in the world.

I have to agree with you on that. Although I hatehatehate being sappy.

not sappy-like, not like "i'll love you forever, blah blah", just being there, not saying anything.

i told you she was changed.

kegpapa is a lucky guy, what did i say about hotness the other day in that thread? exactly...

i would hate having anything to do with painting nails because i detest the smell of formaldehyde.

however a friend of mine used to shave his girlfriend's legs. sexy? mabye. i'd rather not have anything to shave. but anyway everyone has different tastes.

i'm saving disclosure of my of "romantic moments" for my upcoming book, "memories of a depraved goat". no, really...

I kind of like to think of you as a Ken Doll anyway, so that's just fine.

man, you have strange wet dreams.
